Guangzhou Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"Fantastic hotel experience overall! The room had a washing machine with a dryer, a mini-fridge, and an induction cooktop. I borrowed a small pot from the front desk and made some eggs and greens – it was perfect. Plus, I had a view of Canton Tower from my room. I'll definitely be back!"

"The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, right in the heart of Tianhe. Getting around is a breeze; it's close to the subway, making it super easy whether you're heading to nearby office buildings for work or exploring shopping districts for dining and retail therapy. For business travelers and short-term visitors, the location is a perfect 10. The surrounding amenities are also comprehensive, with plenty of options for food and shopping nearby, so you don't have to go far, making daily outings completely hassle-free. What surprised me most was the hotel's service – truly heartwarming! Check-in was efficient, and the staff were incredibly kind and gentle. I had originally booked a standard room, but the front desk proactively upgraded me to a smart room with a 'Xiao Du' intelligent device for free. It was such a pleasant surprise and instantly made me feel like I got amazing value for money! The upgraded smart room is perfect for anyone who loves convenience; it doubled my experience. The whole room can be voice-controlled – just call out 'Xiao Du' from bed to turn lights on/off, adjust the AC temperature, or open/close curtains. No more getting up and walking around; it's incredibly comfortable. When you have some downtime, you can even listen to music or play background sounds, creating a wonderful ambiance. It's truly relaxing and enjoyable, combining a high-tech feel with practicality. The room's cleanliness was also top-notch. It was spotless and tidy throughout, with no strange odors. The bedding was clean and soft, and the mattress had just the right firmness, making it incredibly relaxing to lie down after a long day of travel, ensuring a sound sleep. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, was very clean, and fully stocked with toiletries. The attention to detail truly shows how much effort the hotel puts into its upkeep. Overall, there was absolutely nothing to fault during my stay. The transportation is convenient, the environment is clean, the service is thoughtful, and there are super useful smart devices. For a location in Tianhe, the value for money is pretty good."

"This was my first time choosing the Hilton brand, despite having traveled many times before, and frankly, I wasn't very satisfied with the experience. Although the staff were quick to address issues, the fundamental problem was the old and outdated facilities. As soon as my mother and I entered the room, we noticed a distinct foul odor. Considering the significant rainfall in Guangdong recently, we thought it might be a smell coming from the air conditioning ducts, so we ran the AC for a long time. It improved slightly after we returned from dinner that evening. However, when we came back to the hotel the next day and opened the door, there was still a noticeable foul and musty smell. We called the front desk to report the issue, and the staff quickly brought an air purifier. While the foul smell did improve, the musty smell remained persistent. They did offer to move us to another room, but since we were checking out the very next day, we really didn't want the hassle. I have sensitive, allergic skin, and shortly after resting my chin on the pillow that was in contact with the headboard, I developed a large area of redness and itching. I hope the hotel seriously investigates their hygiene standards and checks the bedding for dust mites. Also, I've rarely seen such a stingy mini-bar offering – only two Cokes and one juice for the initial complimentary selection."

"For my trip to Guangzhou, I specifically chose this hotel, and I must say the overall stay was fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Guangzhou. The hotel's location is a huge plus – it's incredibly close to Shipaiqiao subway station, literally right downstairs. Across the street are TaiKoo Hui and Tianhe Sports Center, making it super convenient to shop, dine, and then easily return to rest without wasting any time on transportation. The hotel's decor is minimalist and upscale, and all the facilities feel brand new, not dated at all. The front desk staff were exceptionally gentle and patient during check-in, especially when we returned from Chimelong with our clothes all wet. They proactively offered to wash our clothes and bring them back, without any stiff formalities, which made for a very comfortable interaction. Furthermore, the room was meticulously cleaned; every corner, including the bathroom area, was spotless and odor-free. It was wonderful to come back and immediately have a hot shower. The room also features smart controls for curtains and lights via voice command, and the mini-bar offers complimentary drinks and snacks – excellent value for money! The most pleasant surprise was the soundproofing. Despite being on a main thoroughfare in Tianhe CBD, it was perfectly quiet once the windows were closed. Coupled with their very comfortable mattress, I had a truly restful night's sleep. Food delivery is also super convenient, and the front desk even helps bring it right to your door, which is incredibly thoughtful. The 24-hour butler service is also very responsive. This hotel is perfect for both business travelers and tourists alike. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit."

"Guangzhou Dongfang Hotel exceeded our expectations. The beautifully landscaped gardens create a peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay, offering a wide selection of fresh and flavorful dishes. We also appreciated the spacious, well-equipped fitness center, which made it easy to keep up with our workout routine while traveling. Most of all, we were impressed by the exceptional service. Every staff member we encountered was courteous and eager to help. Our sincere thanks to Celine, Jack, and Evan for their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail, which made our stay especially enjoyable. We would gladly choose Guangzhou Dongfang Hotel again on our next visit to Guangzhou."

"This was my second stay, and this time the room type I was given was much better than the last. The room facilities are well-maintained, and the living room TV has even been updated. My only minor complaint is that I was on the 27th floor, which felt a bit low. A big thanks to the front desk lady for her excellent service; she helped me with a late check-out and even provided welcome fruits and drinks. It was a little disappointing that there was no soup available this time, I'm not sure if they've discontinued it. The executive lounge is great for a light meal to cover dinner, and the food quality there is quite good, as is the service from the lounge staff – highly recommend! Just a heads-up for future guests: there are separate elevators for high and low floors, so make sure to take the high-floor elevator to get to the lounge. I'd definitely consider staying here again if the opportunity arises."

"A surprisingly pleasant stay! I encountered a typhoon during my trip, but the hotel conveniently offers a Chinese restaurant, a food street, and various chain brand dining options, so I didn't even have to leave to get a good meal. The hotel is also just a few hundred meters' walk from a commercial street, a museum, and a large park, making its location absolutely fantastic with plenty of bustling activity nearby. A big thank you to the front desk for upgrading my room type. The room was spotlessly clean, and I felt that the facilities and amenities provided were on par with other five-star hotels in the city. The housekeeping staff were warm and friendly. I'll definitely prioritize staying at China Hotel next time I'm in the area."

"The room is quite spacious and the hygiene is good. There's a Hema Supermarket nearby. The hotel front desk staff were very patient and helpful, and even upgraded our room type. Overall, it was a very comfortable experience."

"I specifically chose to stay at the Garden Hotel in Guangzhou this time and experienced the full package: guest room, executive lounge, CAN guided tour, and breakfast at the Revolving Restaurant. It truly gave me a taste of what the pinnacle of hotel service in Guangzhou is like. The entire stay was comfortable and reassuring, with no unpleasant surprises, and every aspect exceeded my expectations with its generosity and thoughtfulness. Upon checking in, I had booked a basic room. I paid 20 RMB at the 'Seafood Market' (referring to a loyalty program sign-up) to get a Lingkehui Gold Card. After calling staff beforehand to link my information, I was informed I could get a free upgrade to a Kapok Suite and also receive a welcome fruit platter. It was straightforward and generous, immediately dispelling any concerns I had about formulaic service from an old-established hotel. The upgraded room was spacious, featuring a warm and elegant Lingnan-style wooden design. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and all toiletries were well-stocked. On the first night, I discovered the air conditioner was leaking. After calling service, a staff member arrived within five minutes, promptly fixed the issue, and maintained a polite attitude throughout. Afterwards, the floor supervisor even called to apologize and offered a souvenir. Their immediate response to issues, without shirking responsibility or delaying, and their impressive efficiency were remarkable. The executive lounge on the 4th floor was a major highlight of this trip. During afternoon tea, pastries were continuously replenished, with a limitless supply of various savory and sweet treats. It was quiet and not crowded, perfect for a break and a chat. In the evening, happy hour offered samosas, cold cuts, creamy pasta, and small portions of hot dishes. Although it got a bit noisy during peak hours, staff were always diligent in clearing tables promptly, showing great efficiency and professionalism. The waitresses could even mix 'Cuba Libre' and 'Gin and Tonic,' and I could ask them to prepare drinks. The hotel's exclusive CAN guided tour was a unique experience. The guide led us through the gold foil murals in the lobby, the central courtyard waterfall, and the art collection, meticulously explaining the hotel's forty-plus-year history and the clever touches of Lingnan design. From the golden dragons on the ceiling to the red bridge in the courtyard, every detail had a story. The guide was patient and thorough throughout the explanation, actively stopping for guests to take photos and recommending lesser-known spots within the hotel. The tour was unhurried, and any questions were answered in detail, allowing for a deep understanding of this garden hotel hidden in the city center. The next morning, I went to the Revolving Restaurant on the 30th floor for a buffet breakfast. The 360-degree slowly rotating view offered panoramic cityscapes, with the Canton Tower visible in the distance. The food balanced Cantonese flavors with international cuisine; the freshly steamed shrimp dumplings and Jidi porridge were authentic and delicious, while Western omelets, cold cuts, fresh fruit, and baked goods were all well-stocked. Staff constantly cleared empty plates and proactively refilled drinks, and there was no long wait for window seats, creating a relaxed and pleasant dining atmosphere. From the front desk and room maintenance to executive lounge service, the CAN tour guide, and restaurant staff, everyone I encountered maintained a consistently gentle and polite demeanor. Two things impressed me the most: first, their zero-delay approach to problem-solving, responding swiftly to requests and resolving issues properly; and second, the genuine and generous room upgrade, given without upselling or conditions, purely offering tangible benefits to guests. As a platinum five-star hotel with many years of deep roots in Guangzhou, the Garden Hotel doesn't rely on flashy gimmicks. It earns its reputation through tangible details, efficient service, and generous hospitality. Whether for a short getaway or an extended stay in the city, it provides a stable and comfortable experience. This thoughtfulness and meticulousness truly make it a benchmark for hotel service in Guangzhou. I will definitely choose it again on my next visit to Guangzhou."
